Antonio Maceo Grajales

second-in-command of the Cuban Army of Independence

1845 CE to 1896 CE

Lt. General José Antonio de la Caridad Maceo y Grajales (June 14, 1845 – December 7, 1896) was second-in-command of the Cuban Army of Independence.

Fellow Cubans give Maceo the sobriquet of the "Bronze Titan" (Spanish: El Titan de Bronce), which is a reference to his skin color, stature and status.

Spaniards refer to Maceo as the "Greater Lion" (El Leon mayor).

Maceo is one of the most noteworthy guerrilla leaders in 19th century Latin America, comparable to José Antonio Páez of Venezuela in military acumen.
